My ul HWH0'S BATTY NOW?H In this sparkling new farce-comedy you had the pleasure of meeting the Hattersg those mad, merry Hatters who were as lovable and laughable a family of eccentrics as you've ever come across. There was Nick Hat- ter fFrancis Chaffeej, head of the family who raised bats as a hobby. You followed with shrieks of merriment, the hilarious courtship of Wil- bur and Cynthia, two of the bats. There was Googie Hatter fBarbara Waggenerj, the maiden aunt who practiced standing on her head so that she could become adept at Yogi. Then there were the four Hatter chil- dren, all named after months of the year: January fChester Rembachg, who wanted to be a magician, nine-year-old March fDorothy Wardy, w o had memorized an encyclopedia: June 4Gail Robertsony, who believed crim- inals should be reformed instead of punishedg and August qClark Rousep. August and his girl, Stella fGerry Langy, are the only normal members of the family. August was trying to get a factory started and had hopes of interesting Bartley Snoode fJim Huttenlochery, a young millionaire. The latter was about to visit the Hatters with his mother, Mrs. Antwerp Snoode qSylvia Petersenj, of the Four Hundred. August pleads with his family to Uact normaln while the Snoodes are there so that Bartley will come across with the money. But, alas! This was not to be. For just at this time June brought to the house Eddie the Rat qJim Smithy, an escaped convict whom she was trying to reform. Tillie qElaine Porrittj, comes back from Hollywood, after having gone on a wild goose chase to become an actress. The salesman fBob Rosej, and the radio announcer qSteve Bilbeyy, only add to the confusion. At the end of the play June discovers Eddie to be only an actor, August persuades Bartley to come across with the money, Mrs. Snoode becomes interested in Aunt Googie's Yogi, Stella and August are happy, Nick is still raising his bats, March has memorized another encyclopedia, and Jan is still practicing his magic.

CLASS HISTORY The older flocks get, the more they seem to think about the past. The same is true about a class. We, the Seniors, have no future in this school so our minds wander back, back to the beginning.. KINDERGARTEN! Remember what little bits of humanity we were then? How Jim Hutten- locher and Chuck Henry wept for their mothers. Clark Rouse and Elaine Porritt had better things to do. Clark got acquainted with the girls and Elaine got acquainted with the boys. The rest of the little angels were Robert Lindahyl, Elaine Morgan, and Margie Wilmot. Isn't somebody missing? Ah, Yes, Wayne Morgan. He was making friends with the teacher. His fav- orite passtime, for the rest of the year was to sit on her lap, tenderly kissing her. Then in May, Sylvia Petersen joined the happy crowd. In the first grade, we welcomed to our group one lone wolf, Robert Rose. The second grade flew by, and in the third grade, along with learning how to write, we learned that the teacher was slap-happy. We also learned, from the teacher, of the presence of a monster, dwelling somewhere in an office upstairs, known as UThe Principaln. His chief occupation and de- light was to devour or to beat bad little boys and girls. So we were good. In the fourth grade, if we learned nothing else, we learned the mean- ing of the word Hpaddleu. Our teacher used the back of a chair, and almost every day, she had a long line-up to paddle. How she seemed to love it! When she was too tired, she had us paddle one another. At last, we escaped the fourth grade and rushed into the fifth. There we met Miss Rasie and her songs. Twice, sometimes even three times a week, we all marched down into the kindergarten room, sat on the floor around the piano, and warbled the songs she taught us. Maybe none of us were very good singers but we had fun and there was no paddle. Suddenly, the year was over. Here we were, with new members, Don Dawley, sixth graders already. Mrs. Vilet, was waiting for us, with her lessons, games, songs, parties, and understanding. We were the big shots of the grade side, we were soon to be in the seventh grade, the principal wasn't a monster after all, and we were happy. In the seventh grade, our importance was shattered and there we were, big-eyed and frightened, in the gym, hearing a dreadful speech of what to do and what not to do. We stared at the newcomers and they, Jim Smith, Jerry Dubats, Francis Chaffee, Joan Rexford, Donna Jean Tode, Irene Woods, and Gail Oswald, stared back. After the speech, we were pushed into the halls, given lockers, and left to find our classrooms. In January, Barbara Waggner put in her appearance. By and by, we became eighth graders. Joice Spooner, Joice Carte, George Mantyla, and Tom McDermott joined us. Later on, Elsie LaRue and Gail Robertson came, too. After the eighth, came the ninth, and what a lot of kids came then! Chester Remback, Pat Jewell, Evelyn McCrum, Shirley Milligan, Elden Mudge, Joanne Orr, Wayne Orr, Lila Bailey, Beverley Covert, Nora Brewer, Steve Bilby, Honorah Bilby, and Dorthy Berry. The latedomer this year was Gerry Lang. One thing, besides the dances, dates, parties, homework, etc., that interested and puzzled us in the ninth grade was Pat Jewell's amazing ab- ility to sleep through every class. About the only time he woke up was to move on to another class. What a night life he must have led! Tenth grade. More new kids. This year's flock was: Bonnie Wells, Les Boyns, and Earl Lamberton. With Claranne Holgerson and Dorthey Ward coming in late. The tenth grade was a very profitable year, as far as class dues went. We even made 500 on a dance. We saw the eleventh grade in with Steve Huntoon, Bob Sharrock, and Delores McMullen. This was the year of the five dollars class dues, sell- ing refreshments at games, Junior play, Junior-Senior banquet and prom, and other activities. We also had to keep up a pretense of doing school- work. And now, here we are, the Senior Class of 1951. We had our five dollars class dues again. We had to work for our trip. We had our Senior play, car washes, bake sales, candy sales, paper drives, Christmas cards, and many other things. Oh. yes, we also had Zona Marks join us to complete the class. Now we are facing the big, bad world. We nope to have just as good a time out there as we had in school. And we will.
